I'm trying to run my NodeJS script on the grid engine. I see a very old of node (v0.10.25) is installed globally at /usr/bin/node which I cannot use. I have downloaded a recent version (v6.10.3) that is able to run my program fine:

/data/project/congressedits/node-v6.10.3-linux-x64/bin/node

But when I try to start it in the grid environment with this:

jstart -N congresseditors /data/project/congressedits/node/bin/node /data/project/congressedits/congresseditors/congresseditors.js --config /data/project/congressedits/congresseditors/config.json --verbose

I get this in congresseditors.err

Is there a better way of doing this?
